SHORT HAIR, (ALMOST) DON'T CARE

Yep, that'e exactly a dramatic way of saying I've cut my legendary (ok, maybe not legendary) mane to a over the shoulder bob, but it has been a dramatic step for me. The last time I had my hair short I was 12 and since then my only goal was to have long locks. Everything I've done, every product I bought, everything was in order to get that mythic under-the-boobs length, which I actually had before Sunday.

If you remember this Sunday Post, you'll know I was playing with the idea of getting a bob, even though it still was just imagination stuff, but it all changed when I hit a realization: I was being conditioned by my own hair. I was basically living for it. I used to say 'I can't go to the beach today, I've just washed my hair', 'I can't go out tonight: it takes me 15 minutes to style my hair', 'It's so hot today! My hair is getting sweaty', 'Oh no, it's windy! I'll have to deal with tangled hair later!' and it goes on. My life revolved around my hair, they were deifying me, and I know it may sound excessive, but if you have long strands, I know you feel me.

It was like a full time job and I got bored of it. I think the last straw was when I realized I kept saying I couldn't cut my hair because it took me so long to grow it, I mean, couldn't. So I decided and went for the chop. Changed completely and did something only a month ago I didn't though I would have ever done.

It's been a week in and I've been going crazy with this bob. I find it quite difficult to style and I hate the sticking out ends (but apparently neither Taylor Swift can do anything about it, so...) but I've never regret my old hair once. In the end, I didn't like it: I just kept it because I thought it took me so long to get to the length I had, even thought it was all frizzy and did not look good at all.

I think this 'story' has remembered that I can always change and that I don't necessarily need to fit in the character I've build for myself. Especially with look, I value important to keep it up to date with how you feel: at 15 I felt like wearing Converse and being blonde, a couple months ago like Peter Pan collars and super long hair, today like monochrome tees and a bob and tomorrow... who knows? Keep up to date with who you are and don't hold yourself back from doing something just because your old self would have never. You are constantly evolving.

This post kinda went all over the place and it didn't really cover the beauty aspects of having short hair, maybe a new, more beauty focus, post will follow? What d'ya think?
